2012 Chevrolet Cruze 1.6L Petrol · LR62 TVN

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a slight shift towards deferred consumable upkeep. The most recent MOT test in December 2025 at 68,826 miles revealed the first defect in several years, flagging both nearside and offside front tyres as worn to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This follows a consistent period of clean test results where the vehicle passed without any recorded faults. The mileage profile is notably low for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,900 miles per year. Data indicates a significant period of inactivity between 2021 and 2022, where the car covered only 155 miles in twelve months. Usage increased substantially after 2022, covering over 16,000 miles in the three years. This erratic pattern suggests intermittent use which often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and seizing of brake components despite the lack of high mechanical wear. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and steering geometry, as the edge wear noted on the recent tyres indicates potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check of the chassis for structural rust is essential, particularly around the sills and wheel arches where moisture collects. The buyer should also verify the condition of the brake calipers and discs to ensure the long periods of standing have not caused excessive corrosion or piston pitting.
